    Johnson Ultra Ballast Reversible Pump

    Does anyone happen to know whether or not the fill/empty ballast switches on a 2002 SAN dash can be hooked up to two johnson pumps for the rear ballast tanks..or, would it be smart to buy two fill/empty switches as well??

    You can do this, but you need to hook those dash switches to relays. It is fairly complicated for those (like me) who do not do this stuff for a living. The reason is that those switches are not designed to handle the kind of current the pumps will draw and will fry. If you buy the carlyle switches, be sure to read the wire gauge recommendations in the Johnson manual and stick to it. I had to use the thickest wire that would work with blade quick connects on my runs, which if I remember correctly, was 10 gauge.
